🥃 Serve in: Old-Fashioned Glass
Aged and blackstrap rum share the glass here, with falernum's warm clove-lime spice and a couple dashes of bitters built over crushed ice. The name refers to the drink's dark, viscous appearance, not anything about corn or oil actually in the glass. Rich, spiced, and unmistakably rum-forward, it's a favorite across Trinidad and the wider Caribbean -- and a genuinely good introduction to falernum for anyone who's only met it in tiki drinks.
